Neat Vista Feature - Multiple Monitor Support in MSTSC

  • Статья

Monday, I paved my laptop, removing one of the Vista Release Candidates, and installing the Vista RTM bits.  After getting a bunch of applications installed, I tried to use Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) to connect to my desktop machine (also running Vista).  I could not get it to work.  So I tweaked a few settings in Windows Firewall.  Still no luck.  After an hour of struggling, I broke down and used the Help system.  In five minutes I not only got my computers talking to each other, but I found a cool feature.  The help article I read had a footnote that mentioned multiple monitor support.  I tried it out, and it works.  Just run the following command:

mstsc /span

 and your full screen RDC will span your multi-monitor setup.  Great for developers who have a laptop and a powerful desktop machine, or a development machine in a lab.
